The Highlands of Scotland are a good place to find and watch Red Squirrel. The young at birth have whiskers but no fur. They are weaned at 6-7 weeks and at 2 months are independent and active in the area of their nest. This Red Squirrel was seen in Abernethy Forest in the Cairngorms.

aber es soll ja wieder besser werden ;-)

Cataract surgery day. It was pretty interesting watching (from the inside) my lens being taking out of my eye and replaced. Bandage comes off tomorrow.

This little squirrel didn't eat the bread. Smarter than us humans.

Two young squirrels were frolicking around a grassy patch, then one ran along the curb next to the area. I was shooting mostly behind a tree, so it approached very closely before it saw me and jumped into the tree.

Some Grey squirrels are very nervous and shoot off if you so much as blink, whereas others like this little one can let you get quite close.

A uncommon grey squirrel starting running along my fence. I usually never see them unless up in the mountains.

Morton Lochs. I don't normally like feeder shots, but the light on this squirrel was too good to resist.

I was happy to see the one-eyed squirrel in the yard again. She's showing her best side to the camera.
